Democratic National Convention – Day 1 – 4

The Democratic National Convention ended yesterday (August 28) with Barack Obama accepting the presidential nomination from his party based on the promise of change, hope and America’s participation. His acceptance falls on civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech’s 45th anniversary, a befitting day. And even Obama’s presidential opponent sent out a strategic, congratulatory message –

Watch ‘The Black List – Volume One’ – Film

I watched The Black List documentary last night after the Democratic National Convention coverage, and I thoroughly enjoyed it because the doc redefined what it means to be on the black list and illuminated contemporary, non-victim African-Americans and their experiences. The film was shot by cinematographer Graham Willoughby, and for once the array of dark skins are pristinely photographed as they popped onscreen like images from humanize coffee table books.

Catch The Black List on cable and dive right in.

The Black List screened at Sundance Film Festival (Spectrum) and South by Southwest Film Festival, and began airing on HBO & On-Demand last
Monday, August 25th.

Don’t miss The Black List on HBO and On-Demand. Mr. Mitchell and Greenfield-Sanders, where’s volume 2.
